Have you tried launching the game with Dev branch selected? There was an issue that was similar to this, but it is a year and a half old, I'll give you the link to it, Here. Please let us know if the issue occurs in the dev branch.

Thanks for reply. I reported to Battleye too as I wasn't sure who is responsible here (if only Battleye or also BI can whitelist files). So far the communication from Battleye is stalled after one reply.
